The max size is currently set at 80x80 and it would be nice if people would respect it rather than bypassing by linking to huge avatars. The problem being that not everyone has 19" monitors running at 1280x1024. For those running at 800x600 those huge avatars take up a third of the screen leaving little room for the TEXT, which is the reason this forum exists. Then there are the load times for dial-up users for 80k files...

This is a forum for communicating with words about discgolf, not a gallery for aspiring graphic artists. I think a person can have a unique creative avatar in 80x80, think of it as a challenge.

Andy, you have to be considerate of people who don't have broadband and big, hi-res monitors. I would not like having to wait for someone's avatar to load on my slow dial-up just so I can read about discgolf and I shouldn't have to upgrade my service/equipment just to accommodate someone's desire to be artistic on a discgolf discussion site.

Your original image was 80k and almost 300px wide, no big deal on my big monitor with a fast, cable modem, but when I check the site on my dad's 14inch monitor @ 800x600 with dialup your "unique and creative" avatar takes up HALF the screen and takes several seconds to load. This is the reason the software has max dimensions.
